Good afternoon,

Just a reminder that the Grade 5 boys will be attending Mega Boyz tomorrow. Students need to come to school with: indoor athletic shoes (they can use their school shoes), athletic clothing, water bottles, and a healthy snack. Lunch is provided. Students will be leaving school at approximately 9:00 am and leaving the Syncrude Sports and Wellness Centre at approximately 2:00 pm. They will be accompanied by Ms. Barrington. 

The Grade 4 and 5 girls will be taking part in the Always Changing Health program with Ms. Kerrigan tomorrow. They will be working through this program for the majority of the day. Please see that all permission forms are returned to school tomorrow. Students are, of course, able to opt out of this program. If you would prefer your student not take part in this program, please return the permission form indicating that they do not have permission to participate so I can make alternate arrangements for your student. 

The Grade 4 students and any Grade 4 or 5 students not taking part in the Always Changing program will be working with Mrs. Ferre and a substitute teacher for the majority of the day tomorrow. Ms. Kerrigan will be checking on them throughout. Students will be working on completing a Social Studies project on the Fur Trade as well as completing their Unit Test for Unit 8: Multiplying and Dividing Larger Numbers.

Please see the email below, sent to families earlier this evening. 

Good afternoon,

Just a few updates and reminders. First, do not forget that tomorrow is our Swap & Shop. Students are encouraged to bring in clean, gently used items that they no longer want or need. Students can then swap these items with other students in the class. Students were encouraged to bring in 3 items, swap them for something "new," and then the remaining items will be donated to the Centre of Hope or a similar organization in our community who has need of them. Students are welcome to bring in as many items as they like. If students are unable to bring in an item but would still like to participate, they can bring in a $2 donation for the Centre of Hope in lieu of bringing in items to swap. Students can bring in clothes, toys, games, books, etc., however, please do not be hesitant to send in an item that you believe could be of use. The last time I held a Swap & Shop with a class, a parent sent in a crockpot. After making some phone calls, the soup kitchen downtown was very glad to receive it. This activity helps students to gain a real world understanding of ways that we can reduce waste and ways in which items can be reused, meeting many of our Science outcomes. It will also earn our school some extra points in the RMWB's ongoing Amazing Waste Race. 

Next Wednesday, May 23rd will be Christina Gordon's 2nd Annual Multicultural Potluck. This event will be from 5:30-7:00 pm. We hope that you and your family are able to join us! There will be some entertainment throughout the evening and attendees will also be able to try different foods from some of the diverse cultures that make up our school community. Please note: Families that are planning on attending, please RSVP with the number of people who will be attending (through email or through note sent home in the Agenda) Families that are attending are asked to bring a dish that represents their culture or a family favourite or tradition (please write down any ingredients used in your dish)  To reduce waste at this event and to promote environmentally friendly practices, we are asking that families bring their own dishes and utensils to eat with Beverages will not be provided, but there are water fountains and water bottle filling stations throughout the school. We encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle Finally, the YMCA is hosting a Healthy Kids Day on Sunday, May 27th from 12:00-3:00 pm at the Westwood YMCA at 221 Tundra Drive. This event is a free family event. Families can participate in camp-oriented activities, enjoying games, sports, face-painting, exhibitors, and much more. See the attachment for more information.

Thank you everyone. As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns in regards to any of the above, 

- Ashley Barrington

Don't forget about our Swap & Shop this week. Students are encouraged to bring in items from home that they no longer want or need. Students can then "swap" their items with other students in the class. This a great event that encourages students to think about reducing the amount of waste we produce and about how items can be reused. Any unclaimed items will be donated to the Centre of Hope or a similar organization (depending on the item and needs of the organizations). Students who cannot bring in any items to trade are welcome to bring a $2 donation to the Centre of Hope to participate. This event will also help to earn our school points in the RMWB's Amazing Waste Race. Swap & Shop will be on Thursday, May 17th (not May 18th as previously shared).
